Great diversion tactic wasn’t it. :) :cool:


In all seriousness…Can I just lay out some biblical evidences in the Lounge since we’ve in a very strange times.

There’s 25,000 manuscripts that testify of the God of the Bible.

There’s approximately 2,500 prophecies, 2,000 of which have already been fulfilled and over 40 specific Messianic prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus Himself 400-1500 years before His birth.

There’s firsthand & secondhand eyewitnesses who were there with Jesus or were very good friends of those that were. Luke would be a secondhand eyewitness.

Archeological evidence also continues to confirm that the Bible is accurate.

Just saying because one day we’re here and the next day we’re gone. The next could be me or you.

If you wanna debate anything I’ve said, please feel free to PM me and I’ll engage and have a dialogue or answer any questions you have. Yes Yes, I do understand this makes me “publicly” look like a Jesus Freak. I know I know. Wink Wink. I follow “evidence and logic” and if that is how you perceive me as a person I’m sorry. :cool:

Y’all keep talking about religion and politics in our reef forum and I’m going to demand a 15 minute window to talk about reefs in your church or political group :D

Oh after a couple of offensive quotes, I’m done with that endeavor. The new hvac does an amazing job keeping my house cool, and with a 16 SEER rating, I’m very curious to see how July (first complete month with the unit) compares to my last years electric bill

My electric bill sucks. I need to buy a house one day. It just never seems like the right time. Not to mention when I get money saved up it goes to Reefing. I need to quit chasing the latest and greatest.

Welcome to black boxes….mwahaha!

But seriously, but your own house. Maybe not right now considering that private equity is flooding the market with buyers, but this won’t last forever. However, the freedom to knock a hole in a wall or landscape your yard to how you like is nice. The reality is that our generation (I believe you’re pretty close to my age) are more than likely going to be paying a mortgage or rent until we die. Rent increases with time. Your mortgage doesn’t.

Oh and btw, I bought one of these new black boxes off of Amazon to test it out. It’s the real deal. It runs a true 150w and looks to be very well built. I tested the spread with a par meter but haven’t gotten around to testing a black box of mine for comparison. However, I was very happy with the results so far. I tested it from a 16” mounting height and it had very promising spread, plus it’s 100% controllable from our new dear leader’s BRS Neptune Apex.

Haha, I never wanted to run a Radion until I looked at all the spectrum, spread, and Par maps/data on the G5’s. I made the switch after that. It’s nice to have a fully controllable fixture that weighs less than 5lbs that won’t burn your house down. :)

These come in under 7 pounds and have only burned down my house once or twice.

Plus, same as the old argument, radions don’t have good spread in real time compared to spamming cheaper units. Radions have great spread on flat surfaces, which our tanks aren’t.

One thing I’ve learned during the pandemic is that the BRS Thick super glue will take care of any household task. :)

I’m a gorilla glue gel user. It’s what I use for fragging corals, fixing leaks in my roof, and how I captured my lovely wife.

Which is why you bought a Radion along with the rest of the Reefing community. 😅
